  • nicotine reductions in controlled steps can be achieved by gradually increasing the number of transverse ducts.
  • smokers can tolerate nicotine reductions of up to about 25% without substantial adverse effects.

Treating each cigarette before it is smoked as discussed above also helps in reducing or breaking the smoking habit by introducing a conscious and deliberately performed action into the habitual sequence of smoking activity which tends to break the unconscious auto ati-city of the habit and thereby helps to discourage it.

Abstract

Les articles de fumeurs tels que les cigarettes, les cigares et articles similaires sont maintenant consideres, dans une large mesure, comme dangereux pour la sante. Cependant de nombreuses personnes eprouvent des difficultes a s'arreter de fumer car il s'avere tres difficile pour un fumeur de reduire systematiquement sa consommation de tabac sans des diminutions brusques dont il ressent les effets. Des articles de fumeur (12, 50) tels que des cigarettes, des cigares et articles similaires sont traites, afin de modifier les constituants de la fumee qu'inhale le fumeur, en pratiquant un ou plusieurs conduits (52, 54, 56, 58) traversant la partie (50) de la paroi laterale de l'article qui est situee a l'exterieur de la bouche du fumeur et se prolongeant vers l'interieur de l'article d'une distance au moins egale au rayon de cet article. On peut notamment modifier la composition de la fumee afin de reduire la teneur en gaz indesirables ou en substances sous forme de particules en utilisant le dispositif (10) pour former dans l'article de fumeur un ou plusieurs conduits de ce type. L'habitude de fumer peut etre notablement reduite ou supprimee par un accroissement progressif du nombre de conduits provoquant une reduction correspondante de la consommation en nicotine ou en autres constituants par etapes successives qui peuvent etre acceptees facilement par le fumeur.
